Saudi airstrikes claim 13 lives in Yemen |
2010-01-16 |
![]() According to the Houthis, Saudi warplanes carried out 12 attacks the details of which are yet to be released. The raids come only a day after the Houthis said some four civilians were killed by Saudi forces. Civilians have been the main victims of the all-out war which has been fueled by foreign military intervention in the poorest Arab country in the region. The United States has recently launched air raids against several targets in southern Yemen as part of what Washington claims are efforts to wipe out hundreds of al-Qaeda fighters operating in the country. News and eye-witness reports, however, indicate that civilians, including women and children, have been the main victims of recent US air raids in Yemen. |

#1 reminder: always consider the source of battlefield news. reminder2: a civilian is a terrorist without a gun. |
